Crumbling concrete schools will suffer ‘for years to come’

Available for over a year

One year ago, teachers, parents and pupils in England were preparing to head back to school as usual - until, for some, panic mode set in. Schools were suddenly told to close any building containing Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, or Raac - a dangerous type of material prone to collapse - that did not have safety measures in place. Now, as schools prepare for another year affected by Raac, a head teachers' union is warning that many will feel the financial impact for "years to come".
